With the participation of the American business partner – Space Imaging (currently GeoEye) company, in October of 2004, Techmex set up the Satellite Centre for Regional Operations (SCOR), the latter being a licensed operator of the American satellite Ikonos. The centre is the only satellite operation centre in the Central and Eastern Europe. The receiving station, located in Komorowo, nearby Ostrowia Mazowiecka, has been provided with advanced technology that until recently has been restricted for the sole use by the American military sector. The centre obtains from the Ikonos satellite high-resolution depictions of the surface of the Earth, which are used for generating spatial mappings of terrain that constitute the basic source of data for projects in: spatial planning, cadastre, infrastructure, environmental protection, national defence, telecommunications, and the power sector. It is the intention of the company to acquire the leading share in the domestic market of complex geoinformatics products devised on the basis of photographs and satellite orthophotomaps, and in the market of preparing digital vectorial data, with recourse to satellite data.
